Consider the ordinary differential equation xy' - 2y = x5. a) By finding an integrating factor for the LHS of (*), derive the general solution to (*) for x = 0. b) Discuss the uniqueness of the integrating factor found in (a). If it is unique, prove this. If is not unique provide a further integrating factor.
